Residential robberies are also known as which term?

• A. Street Robberies
• B. Burglary
• C. Home Invasion Robberies
• D. Carjackings

Answer: (C)

Residential robberies are defined by intrusion into a dwelling with the intent to steal, typically involving force or a threat against the occupants. The term home invasion robberies directly reflects both the setting (home) and the aggressive intrusion (invasion) that characterizes these crimes, making it the most accurate label.

Street robberies happen on public or outdoor spaces and involve stealing from a person in a non-residential setting. Burglary is unlawful entry with intent to commit a crime, often when occupants are not present, and does not require confrontation inside the home. Carjackings involve taking a vehicle from a driver and are not about invading a residence.
